Abstract: We review ninety-two studies of public service performance, and analyse in detail those that model the impact of management on both administrative and survey measures of performance. Our review indicates that administrative data typically reflect the performance judgements of government and regulators, while survey data reflect those of citizens, service users and public managers. Analysis of the eleven articles that use administrative and survey performance measures reveals limited differences in the impact of management variables on both types of performance measure. However, management variables appear to have a stronger link with the performance judgements of service consumers than managers themselves.
